Paper birch trees have a thin bark that peels in horizontal layers and separates into sheets like paper. Birch trees can grow in pairs/clusters. There are many different types of birch trees and they all grow fairly tall. They can grow anywhere from sixty to eighty feet high. Some smaller types of birches grows anywhere from fifty to seventy-five feet, and the smallest yet very rarely grow higher than forty feet. Paper birch was used by Indians to make birchbark canoes; therefore, it received the name, Canoe birch. Birch is a group of about forty trees and shrubs of North America, Europe, and Northern Asia. Paper birch grows in the taiga, or boreal forests, of Canada as far north as the tundra, and in the decidous forests of the northern United States as far south as the Appalachian Mountains.
